CLSI C40 Abstract

Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute C40—Measurement Procedures for the Determination of Lead in Whole Blood is intended for use by members of the medical laboratory community involved in the determination of lead (Pb) in blood, as well as by personnel involved in specimen collection. This guideline discusses the clinical significance of blood lead (BPb) measurements; specimen collection; and Pb determination by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, anodic stripping voltammetry (based on disposable screen-printed electrode technologies), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. It also discusses reference materials, QC procedures, and laboratory policies for BPb testing.
